There’s other stupid things as well, such as with income tax as something companies have to pay, when it’s actually paid by the employee as well as VAT is directly paid by consumer.

This all seems like something a person with good intentions but zero clue crafted up. Or maybe the intention is to show “hey look how much companies are paying taxes so that you don’t have to”

Russia is sending all the depressed people to meat grinder

Yeah I think it the best would be comparisons in smaller areas, such US states or within Europe, where availability is similar within the area but culture might have bigger impact.

I have no idea how you could measure the people who’re in need of those medicine within area though, which would be the most interesting comparison. Are people in Finland more depressed than, say, Estonians?

This is such annoying chart. It implies that that these countries on top have more depressed people, but it correlates more accurately with how accessible the antidepressants are

Maybe it depends on a person or the language they typically write in - and I have to admit I rarely write with pen and paper these days

Yep, the example in OP seems wrong (for right handed people), it’s very awkward line to pull

They’re very very rare, it seems

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_diamond?wprov=sfla1

A red diamond is a diamond which displays red color and exhibits the same mineral properties as colorless diamonds. Red diamonds are commonly known as the most expensive and the rarest diamond color in the world, even more so than pink or blue diamonds, as very few red diamonds have been found. Red diamonds, just like pink diamonds, are greatly debated as to the source of their color, but the gemological community most commonly attributes both colors to gliding atoms in the diamond’s structure as it undergoes enormous pressure during its formation. Red diamonds are among the 12 colors of fancy color diamonds, and have the most expensive price per carat. They will typically run in the hundreds of thousands of dollars per carat range. Since they are the rarest color, it is difficult to find them in large sizes, and they are mostly found in sizes less than 1 carat. Red diamonds only exist with one color intensity, Fancy, although their clarities can range from Flawless to Included, just like white diamonds. The largest and most flawless red diamond is the 5.11 carat Fancy Red Moussaieff Red Diamond, which has internally flawless clarity.
